Bingo.
I believe we have chosen sides and its not with Maliki.
I can’t believe this stupidity. YOu negotiate from strength. Our aircraft should have come in and anniliated those basta*ds when they were on the single road towards Bagdad. Instead we’re to negotiate with them?
Is there media on this planet that sees thru this idiot Clinton as a total phony?
Uhmmm....
We supported Iraq during their 8 year war with Iran and we need to support them for the same reasons as then.
It’s going to be fun to watch if Obama pulls the rug out from under her and provides air strikes.
Of course, “What difference does a Caliphate make?”.
ISIS, supported by the US indirectly in Syria, will not be supported by the US in Iraq either. By the time Barrie “considers his options”, fund raises, golfs, Baghdad may have fallen without an “American Dunkirk” operation having been instituted. The Iraqi AF is evacuating am many as possible. The most elegant and large US embassy in US recent history is at risk of capture. Will it be destroyed or left for the initial use of a Caliphate, on display as the USS Pueblo was on display in North Korea. Where is a American airlift to aid the Iraqi AF, at least symbolically. Is Barry pulling a “Bergdahl” by walking away during an emerging crisis of historically HUGE impact? History will judge and judge very shortly.
ISIS has just captured a couple of Israelis and an American even as the US is emptying its prison in Afganistan of its last prisoners. ISIS will have plenty of prisoners and we none, except the Blind Sheikh. He, also, will no doubt be released if a Caliphate is established.
When Baghdad falls, the US will have washed its hands of Iraq and can look forward to establishing relations at unknown high cost with the new Islamic nation-state. The leader, and supposed Caliph is Baghdadi, released by the US from Camp Bucco in Iraq in 2009. Islam is on a roll and a lot of heads are rolling in Iraq right now. “What matter does it make” takes on increasing significance.
